Weblogs are making their way into every aspect of
online life.  
Everybody from gossipy  teenagers, mainstream
journalists, tech CEOs, 
and politicians to Java developers and even James
Gosling, seems to 
have 
their own weblog.

In this talk you will learn why
weblogs are an 
important part of the Java development community, how
weblogs can be 
used in software development projects, and you'll
learn about the

source and Java-based 
software that drives the JavaLobby's JRoller.com site.</p>
